Millions of patients die of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) every year. There are several methods to treat NSCLC, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and bioimmuotherapy. Recently, hyperthermia therapy has played an important role in neoplasm therapy. It has showed some effect in NSCLC both in animal experiment and clinical practice, yet there is little literature about Whole-body Hyperthermia (WBH) with neoplasm. The investigators decides to develop this randomized contrasted multicenter clinical study to testify to the effect of chemotherapy combined with WBH to treat stage IIIB/IV Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Measurable disease, defined as lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 2 cm with conventional techniques or as ≥ 1 cm with spiral CT scan No known CNS tumors, including brain metastases;

Patients with recent or ongoing gastrointestinal bleed may not be transfused to reach the entry hemoglobin of 8.5 g/dL Physicians should ensure patients requiring transfusion prior to registration do not have an occult or clinically apparent gastrointestinal bleed No history of bleeding diathesis;

No significant history of cardiac disease, including any of the following: NYHA class III-IV congestive heart failure Myocardial infarction within the past 6 months Cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy (other than beta blockers or digoxin) LVEF < 45% (or below the normal limit at the individual institution) by scintigraphy (MUGA or myocardial scintigram) History of hypertension allowed provided it is well controlled (i.e., BP < 140/90 mm Hg) on a regimen of anti-hypertensive therapy

Other prior adjuvant therapy is allowed provided it was completed > 6 months ago AND there is documented recurrence of NSCLC

No prior local therapy for the target lesion unless the target lesion located within the field of local therapy has shown ≥ 25% increase in size since last treatment

poor Compliance, not receiving medication or follow-up according to study plan;

There are other serious situations contrary to the scheme

Existing tuberculosis;

Exist two or multiple tumors
